Great article.

Sabrina Luecht never expected she would one day become a proud cat owner. Her work, after all, revolves around saving native birds.

Lovely!

A big shout out to everyone who does TNR ♥️🎉

It's the only way to hopefully one day get on top of the endless strays born everyday into a life of hell.

Sounds like an interesting project. Look forwarding to hearing the results!

🐈🏠 Calling NZ cat owners keen on transitioning their cat to an indoor life 🐈🏠

Companion Animals NZ (CANZ) is teaming up with Eastern Institute of Technology (EIT) and the University of Adelaide to study how cats adjust to living indoors only! We’re looking to better understand how both our feline friends and their human guardians adapt to indoor living environments.

Interested? Here's what you need to know:

✅ You must be 18+
✅ Live in New Zealand
✅ Be the caregiver of a cat 6+ months old
✅ Keep your cat indoors for 3 weeks
✅ Keep a diary of their behaviours for 4 weeks

And this is why cats are SO good at escaping over or through ordinary fences.

A common joke is cats appear to have “no bones” because they’re so flexibile and have no issues fitting into itty bitty spaces, but the actual reason is MUCH cooler!  

According to , cats are able to rotate their spines more than many other animals and can twist their bodies to a much greater extent, giving them this”boneless” way of moving.

Not only that, but the feline shoulder blade is attached to the rest of the body ONLY by muscles, not bone, allowing them to squeeze through tiny spaces!

Fence-mounted cat containment systems are great, but what if you don't have a fence? The Purrfect Fence Freestanding system gives you a fence plus a cat-safe barrier - and it can connect to other Purrfect Fence systems too, as seen on the timber fence in this photo.

Purrfect Fence is an easy approach to cat containment. There are 3 types of Purrfect Fence, and you can mix them to get the purrfect solution!

A small Canadian city has failed in its bid to be designated “bird friendly” – and the reasons will be of interest to all of us who want to protect birds and natural ecosystems.

A small Canadian city has failed in its bid to be designated "bird friendly" - largely due to a lack of action on cats.

Two-thirds of Australians support cat containment, according to the 2024 report of the Biodiversity Council, which surveyed 3400 people late last year. And did you know that 42% of Australia's pet cats are already kept at home? :-)

A national survey of 3400 people in late 2023 found substantial support for cat containment. But some state governments block such moves.

Oscillot tip: When installing the Oscillot system on a stepped fence (one that changes height) we recommend face-mounting the system with overlaps as shown. See more at https://catfence.nz/oscillot/faq/

Our cats like water (and snow too). How about yours?
